too many initializers.... need help

[Takuhari]

hello, Im not too good at programming yet... but i know some of the basics^^*

When i compile my program, i get this error...


aaa.cpp:96: error: too many initializers for ‘const<anonymous struct> [30]’
aaa.cpp:1423: error: too many initializers for ‘char [20][60]’


I was just wondering what can make this error happen?..

You can get that error if you have more initializing values than an array is declared to hold.
In this example the character 's' is one too many.
$ cat too_many.cpp
void f()
{
char A[20][60] = {
#define ten_chars 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j',
#define sixty_chars ten_chars ten_chars ten_chars ten_chars ten_chars ten_chars
sixty_chars sixty_chars sixty_chars sixty_chars sixty_chars
sixty_chars sixty_chars sixty_chars sixty_chars sixty_chars
sixty_chars sixty_chars sixty_chars sixty_chars sixty_chars
sixty_chars sixty_chars sixty_chars sixty_chars sixty_chars
's'
};
}
$ g++ -c too_many.cpp
too_many.cpp: In function ‘void f()’:
too_many.cpp:11: error: too many initializers for ‘char [20][60]’
